The use of incorrectly selected hygiene products used for daily procedures can also cause a severe allergic reaction on the skin. Manifestations of allergic reactions are quite often detected in one-year-old babies.

Wearing clothes made from synthetic materials contributes to the development contact dermatitis. In this case, rashes appear in those places where there was direct contact with clothing.

In this case, the skin elements look like a small red rash. These rashes tend to coalesce, forming rather large areas of irregularly shaped lesions.

A common cause of rashes on the stomach and chest in babies are various childhood infectious diseases. Measles, rubella, and chickenpox are quite severe in children and are accompanied by the appearance of characteristic symptoms.

Within a few days, skin rashes rapidly spread throughout the body of the sick child. Each of these pathologies has its own incubation period, the duration of which can be from several days to a couple of weeks.

One of the most interesting forms of the disease is the appearance of a rash on the torso after high temperature. After previous viral or bacterial infections, the child develops red rose-colored rashes on the skin. They are usually located on the stomach and back. The diameter of such skin rashes usually does not exceed 4-5 mm.

These skin elements usually go away on their own within a couple of days after the body temperature normalizes.

A fairly common pathology that leads to the appearance of rashes on the skin of the abdomen is scabies. This disease is caused by scabies mites. In this case, specific skin elements are formed at the entry and exit points of the parasites, which are manifested by the appearance of a rash.

Children attending educational institutions can become infected with scabies quite easily. The disease is spreading contact-household method.

Excessive wrapping of a child in the first months of life provokes overheating of the skin and promotes increased sweating, which leads to the development of various rashes on the baby’s skin.

Various factors influence the development of the disease in the baby fungal diseases. One of these pathologies is lichen. This pathological condition is accompanied by the appearance of bright red elements that cause severe itching in the child. Quite often, such rashes appear in children in the groin area and on the stomach.

These microorganisms provoke the appearance of rather unfavorable rashes on the skin of a sick child. This pathology is also called versicolor or tinea versicolor. Infection can occur from a sick baby to a healthy one.

After clearing the fungal rashes, numerous pale areas remain on the skin. They are usually covered with multiple skin scales, which are severely sloughed off.

The skin of the damaged areas tans quite poorly and is very itchy. Only after several months and after complete cleansing of fungi is the structure of the skin completely restored.

Skin rashes can manifest in different ways. This largely depends on the cause that led to the development of these rashes.

For allergies

Allergic skin elements look like bright red individual spots. They can be located in various parts of the body. Typically, these elements are very itchy and bring severe discomfort to the sick baby.

The duration of allergic rashes remaining on the skin may vary. Adverse symptoms usually persist during the persistence of the allergen in the child’s body.

If a child receives specific treatment, but the substance that provokes the allergic reaction continues to enter, then a rash may remain on the skin for quite a long time. New bulk elements that have appeared recently will generally have a more intense color.

You can distinguish allergic rashes from other skin manifestations at home. In this case when you press on a separate element of the rash, it turns pale and usually disappears.

The presence of various types of allergies in close relatives also greatly facilitates differential diagnosis. In this case, the appearance of a rash on the baby's skin may be caused by genetic allergic sensitivity to a specific allergen.

Dermatitis, which is allergic in nature, usually appears in areas with thin areas of skin. The appearance of such rashes on the abdomen is a fairly common location. The spread of bright red elements over all skin also confirms that the child has a possible allergy.

For chicken pox
